Rocking Horse for my Daughter

This took me about 5 months of working on sporadic weekends due to working out of town. It is made from Walnut and finished with oil based stain and polyurethane. As a new woodworker I spent little time on the finish which resulted in polyurethane white marks so I am in the process of stripping the polyurethane off the wood. Besides that it came out great. I will try to get better pictures uploaded.

6/27/09OK it took several hours but I finally stripped it and restained it. Really happy with how it turned out. I think I will not put the polyurethane on it. It feels great to be done and off to my next project, a chop saw station that I am going to use to practice my cabinetry skills.
